Which province is recognized as the birthplace of Confederation?

  1. Quebec

  2. Ontario

  3. New Brunswick

  4. Prince Edward Island

The correct answer is: Prince Edward Island

Prince Edward Island is recognized as the birthplace of Confederation as it was here in 1864 that politicians from different provinces came together to discuss the creation of a new country. Quebec, Ontario and New Brunswick were also involved in these discussions, but it was PEI where the Charlottetown Conference was held and initial steps were taken towards Confederation. Therefore, PEI is correctly identified as the birthplace of Confederation.
